HELLO , HELLO !!!!!!!!!
This is a long one . Lots of photos and festive mood.
I'm excited with the holidays and all the Christmas preparations - decoration-wise - as we can't do that much this year due to the pandemic.
I started with some fake snow and then I added all the bits and pieces my eye and heart felt appropriate for this 'installation'.
I placed the little blackboard on a shelf at the centre .It reads 'white Christmas' in Greek - I know that this is a wish that won't come true in this area ,but away..
I added my favourite mugs, cups and saucers , my gingerbread cookies , tealights, lovely festive napkins and some little wooden toys and santas. Ah ..and of course some chocolate , tea bags , sugar and cofee jars and pine cones.
I particularly liked the sunlight coming in from my kitchen window , creating lovely shading.
And these are my gingerbread cookies, men, trees and stars ready for making it to other houses as little Christmas favours. I always give cookies to family, friends and teachers at Christmas, it is a tradition I like keeping ....
Here are my cookies again. I made a whole lot and took even more pictures . I was thrilled as usual. When I make something,
See what I mean?
I saw a video the other day about how to make christmas ornaments using old CDs and I couldn't but give it a go!!
I made three pieces and hang them from my tree. I think this is a good upcycling idea, very easy to make and quite impressive. you can add some ribbons and glitter to make them even more festive!!
I feel like a child who plays in her toyland and forget evrything else for some blessed moments.
Happy Holidays !!!
